Fred Wilson at PS 46 in Manhattan
When artist Fred Wilson visited PS 46 today as part of STUDIO's Visual Arts Appreciation Week, Principal George Young proudly showed him the art that fills his school's lobby and hallways -- a large mural, "Harlem of Mine," stained glass panels and pastel self portraits, all created by students in Studio's visual arts program over the past 13 years.  He told Wilson about Willie Mays' visit to the school a few years ago to receive an honor from the New York Giants (the school is located on the former home field of the Giants) and Mays had asked, "How do you get this kind of art out of kids?"

Ursula Von Rydingsvard at PS 75
"I know a little about you," the striking woman with spiky hair and dressed in black told the group of third graders as she walked into their art classroom today at Manhattan's PS 75.  "I saw your art work."  Her voice was low and dramatic, almost reverential.  Ursula von Rydingsvard had come to school to talk about art -- about her intricate and monumental sculptures -- but first she wanted to talk about the art that these children were making with Studio in a School's teaching artist Kelly Martin.  Von Rydingsvard was taking part in STUDIO's Visual Arts Appreciation Week, the start of STUDIO's 35th Anniversary celebrations -- along with Jeff Koons, Claudia DeMonte and Fred Wilson, who visited other STUDIO programs in New York City this week.
